This refers to the news story, 'UN secretary general says sorry to people of Pakistan' (The News, August 15) – on the killing of innocent civilians in drone attacks. Pakistan is grateful for the concern shown. But why he was silent on the mass killings in Kashmir? What has he done to stop the massacre of Muslims in Myanmar?
Ban Ki-moon also stated in clear terms that drones should only be used in accordance with international laws and every effort should be made to avoid civilian casualties when using armed drones. If this is true, what steps has he taken to stop drone attacks? His statement is largely useless except that a concern has been shown on civilian casualties. Ban Ki-moon should exert himself to ensure that the UN is not labelled as United Nations for the United States.
